Today, we acquire, integrate and operate companies in over 25 countries across the globe.
Enghouse Advantage
Buy and Hold
Exceptional results are possible if we plan for the long-term. We do not “flip/sell” acquired businesses.
Cash Buyer
No financing requirements as we have ample cash to fund our acquisitions. We use our streamlined process and an internal team of professionals to close acquisitions quickly.
Reputation in the Market
With a stellar reputation for being a reliable Buyer, we offer a high certainty of closing as per the agreed upon terms of a Letter of Intent.
Transparency
Engage in a direct, honest and transparent manner in all our activities. We conduct all the research upfront and provide deal terms which we honour.
Commitment to Continuity
Emphasis on a smooth (rapid) transition for your employees, customers, partners and products to minimize disruption or uncertainty in the business.
Ongoing Support and Investment
We do not end-of-life the acquired products nor force migration to our next generation products unless the customers chose to do so.
Experienced Buyer
We acquire standalone businesses, carve-outs, divestitures from public or private companies.
